President Muhammadu Buhari will, on Tuesday, open defense
against the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
and its presidential candidate in the 2019 Presidential election,
Atiku Abubakar.
Counsel to Buhari, Wole Olanipekun (SAN) informed the
Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal that he will be calling
witnesses from 2pm on Tuesday.
The lawyers had agreed during the pre-hearing modalities that
the petitioners would take 10 days to conclude their submission,
while the defense will take six days each.
The parties also agreed that they will spend five minutes to
take evidence in chief from ordinary witnesses, while examination
of expert and subpoenaed witnesses will take 20 minutes and any
re-examination will take three minutes.
Buhari’s decision to immediately open his defense is sequel to
INEC’s declaration that it won’t be calling any witnesses in the
matter because the PDP and Atiku have already established its
case.
